Clean and bright. Merch wall was inviting. service was very quick. Ample seating with multiple tables. I only ordered a coffee so I can't speak to their food but coffee was strong and taste as coffee should.

I was looking for a local coffee spot on my way to my collaborative book release in times square and passed Gumption Coffee. I ordered and they gave my regular black drip back pretty quickly. It tasted full and slightly bitter and not burnt and acidic like that nasty chain, which I appreciate. Viva los local coffee shops!

Clean, efficient coffee shop just off 45th. Great service and they also had some San Pallegrino drinks, baked goods, and pastries for sale. A good stop for a quick pick me up near the theater district and times square.

I've walked by this coffee shop a few times, and it definitely catches your eye -- vibrant colors, cool art, and a really nice setup even though the space is small. I tried the iced pistachio salted caramel latte from their seasonal menu, but it was way TOOOOOO sweet for me. The pistachio flavor completely overpowered everything, and I couldn't taste the caramel at all. Not really a fan of this one. Meh.

Latte

Came by for cofffee the other day and it was a quick and easy experience. Gumption Coffee is located on 45th between 7th and 8th. Ordered via the counter and my latte was ready within minutes! My latte was the perfect temperature and the espresso was smooth!

Large coffee

Came here for coffee on a Thursday morning. They were busy, but fast with orders. Got a flat white and sat at one of the 7 small tables. Coffee was good. They sell bags of whole beans, roasted in Brooklyn. Get a free small coffee with purchase of beans. Nice atmosphere and decor.

Love these tiles!

When I visited NYC this week I think I had 5 different lattes, and my vanilla oatmilk latte from Gumption was by far my favorite! While walking around I'm not certain what about this coffee shop caught my eye- maybe the signage, maybe the color scheme, or maybe I was just at the right place at the right time. Regardless when I entered I was pleased to see a decent crowd inside, but only 1 person ahead of me to order. The staff was friendly, and my coffee came out quickly. Best part was my coffee was delicious! Smooth, strong, and sweet, I honestly gulped it down! To me it was the perfect latte!

Cute little coffee shop with some fire pastries. Service was about what you should expect, nothing crazy.

Bananas in pajamas latte
Daniel S.

This was by far the best cup of coffee I had in Ny. I had the bananas in pajamas latte(seasonal menu) and it was great! Staff was super cool and nice. - quiet little pocket in the craziness of the city.

Good coffee. Worth a stop in. The people were nice and hustled through the line of patient patrons. Options for all and an overall nice space. Enjoyable.

Let me start by saying that in this area there are not a lot of coffee places to visit. We didn't want to see another Starbucks and this was the nearest choice. It's not a horrible place, but don't expect anything much. It's pretty empty, not even in terms of the layout and table seating, but the lack of food and selection of pastries leaves something to be desired. On the plus side, the service was helpful. It's okay for a grab and go, but not for a longer visit.

Chai Iced
Nicole K.

Needed a mid afternoon pick me up and got a large iced chai which was delicious. Coworker got an iced americano which he enjoyed as well. The cafe is a bit small but there are tables/booths available to sit at. The staff were friendly and asked which milk I wanted since I didn't mention anything. Since it's close to the office, would probably stop by again to try their coffee.

ICED LATTE

Person behind the counter was helpful and kind. Son had the pumpkin latte and I had the cherry and pistachio. Really tasty and would return. Woman owned.

Coffee OK, but certainly not the best! There are so many really good coffee shops in NY that you don't need to settle for an OK brew.

ordered the hinata matcha latte and it was great!! it's so nutty and i loved it…read more it was a quaint tiny store and they sold japanese tea leaves. so glad my friend and i snagged the one table that they had indoors :)

Mika's Direction is a small matcha-focused shop tucked slightly off the main flow of Koreatown,…read moreeasy to miss if you are not actively looking for it. The space is extremely compact, functioning more like a takeout counter than a café, with only minimal room inside. The main focus here is matcha, with a distinctive approach that lets you choose between three blends: Hinata, which leans creamy and nutty; Hajime, which is more smoky and earthy; and a more traditional-style matcha profile. Drinks like the mango matcha show how they play with these bases, though fruit purées can sometimes overshadow the matcha depending on the combination. They also offer matcha powder for home use and occasional fresh pastries that add a warm, baked aroma to the space. Service is one of the strongest parts of the experience. The staff is consistently warm, attentive, and willing to explain the differences between blends in detail. The atmosphere is cozy but extremely tight, built for short visits rather than lingering. It is not a workspace or hangout café, but more of a quick stop that stands out because of its hospitality and focus on craft. Even in a busy area, it leaves a memorable impression through its matcha quality and genuinely personable service.

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

This is always my favorite spot to go for desserts and hangout. The interior decor is very modern,…read moresophisticated and stylish. We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.

Paris Baguette is a neighborhood bakery café, bringing expertly crafted baked and brewed goods to the community. Their bakers, cakers, and baristas serve up handcrafted cakes, freshly baked pastries and breads, delicious Lavazza coffee, and more. One thing that really stood out is their PB Rewards program. It's super easy to join via their app, and you earn 1 point per $1 spent toward free pastries, drinks, cake slices, and more and i even got a free pastry just for signing up. I ordered a chai latte and my free strawberry croissant pastry filled with soft custard cream and strawberries, dusted with powdered sugar. The strawberry croissant had fresh strawberries and cream and it was the perfect breakfast after a run in Central Park. The second visit was to take advantage of their BOGO cake slice deal through the rewards app. It's a fun way to explore their cake selection without paying full price. I ordered the Blueberry chiffon cake slice filled with soft cream, topped with blueberry yogurt soft cream and blueberries and the strawberry soft cream cake slice, a vanilla cake filled with soft cream and fresh strawberries, topped with more berries. Service was friendly and the line moved quickly. Prices are typical for midtown NYC, but all the reward app perks make it more reasonable. I will definitely be back to earn more rewards and try more of their pastries.
